<h4 class="subsection">6.3.7 Building Documentation</h4>

<p>The main GCC documentation is in the form of manuals in Texinfo
format.  These are installed in Info format; DVI versions may be
generated by &lsquo;<samp>make dvi</samp>&rsquo;, PDF versions by &lsquo;<samp>make pdf</samp>&rsquo;, and
HTML versions by &lsquo;<samp>make html</samp>&rsquo;.  In addition, some man pages are
generated from the Texinfo manuals, there are some other text files
with miscellaneous documentation, and runtime libraries have their own
documentation outside the <samp>gcc</samp> directory.  FIXME: document the
documentation for runtime libraries somewhere.
